Hey all,
So long story short my 83 Celica I rally-x got demolished while parked on my street so I'm likely going to need a new car for this season. I like RWD, and also am pretty familiar with Toyotas, so I'm taking a serious look at the MR2.
I've been doing some reading and found a lot of people saying the Mk1s are good in stock form. Haven't found much on the Mk2s. I'm currently eyeballing two for sale on the board. Haven't found much for sale in the used rally market.
I had couple questions..
Is the MK1 or 2 substantially better then the other for rally?
I'm 6ft and am also worried about space with the helmet and all. I've heard the MK2s have slightly more space, as do the hard tops. There seems to be a good amount of sidebracket seat mounts that could solve these issues though? Most of the threads on heights and fitting into cars on the board are reduced to random people posting their heights...
Any other major considerations I should look at? I'm looking to stay N/A for the smoother powerband. This will also be my first MR2, so any basic purchasing knowledge for these cars would be welcomed too
